Secret Plan by Putin, Obama to Strike ISIS?

In what has the potential to be the right wayforward, President Barack Hussein Obama and RussianPresident Vladimir Putin have struck adeal to allow the United States to strike radical Islamistsin Syria with the approval of the Syriangovernment and intelligence cooperation withRussian military specialists in the country. But thedeal could be upended if Congress has its way.

Neoconservatives on both sides of the aisle, ledby the likes of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), continueto press for war with Syria. They have pushedthrough $500 million in funding for training andarming militias in Iraq and Syria to overthrow theSyrian government.

In what is clearly an example of a conflicted, ifnot crazy, U.S. policy, McCain and company wantthe U.S. to bomb ISIS in Syria while running aground war in that country with their chosen militiaarmy.

What they fail to understand is that some of thegroups they would like to arm and train have linksto the radical, violent Islamist group ISIS, and arejust as extreme. Many will help ISIS thwart any U.S.bombing campaign while ISIS tries to seize thereins of power in Syria.

It appears that Obama has finally recognized themessage that Putin has been sending him these pastthree years that running a regime-change war with the help of extreme militias only creates enemiesfor Russia and America. Obama recently authorizedmiddlemen in Moscow to initiate talks with representativesof the Russian government to find a wayto strike ISIS in Syria.

As this newspaper has explained in previous reports, Washingtonand Moscow talk to each other using middlemen,or “cut-outs” as they are sometimes called, generally members of foreign embassiesand intelligence services based in Moscow. The twonations communicate in this odd way because ofpressure from internationalists inside and outsidethe U.S. government, who see Putin’s nationalismas a threat to their world order.

In this instance, Moscow used French intelligenceoperatives, who made it clear that, without adeal, Putin would oppose U.S. bombing of Syria. Ifa compromise could be struck, they told U.S. officials,Putin would persuade the Assad governmentto cooperate with Washington and would allowRussian and Syrian military specialists on theground in Syria to help the U.S. defeat ISIS.

Moscow articulated the concern that neoconswithin Congress and the Pentagon might use anagreement to bomb ISIS to also target Assad’s military.In Moscow’s view, if that happened therewould be serious consequences.

Paris informed Washington a deal with Putin andAssad was the only way for the U.S. not to appearto be the transgressor.

Russia, through the French middlemen, stressedObama had to limit bombings in Syria to ISIS targetsonly, and any move by Congress to use militiasto attack Assad’s forces while the U.S. was bombingwould lead to the collapse of the pact.

According to a Moscow source, who has spokenbefore to AMERICAN FREE PRESS, Putin has calculated the destructionof ISIS in Syria could be swift if Obama honors theiragreement and allows the Pentagon to coordinatea bombing campaign with Russian and Syrian militaryassets on the ground.

“Of course, the devil is in the detail, and muchwill depend on Obama keeping his own warmongersout of the mix,” said the source. “Putin seesthe deal as one that could lead to better cooperationover Ukraine. On the other hand, there aremany in Washington who want regime change inSyria more than they want the end of ISIS or better Moscow-Washington relations.”

OK BHO, you have the chance to do something right here. Don’t blow it. See how nice Pooty Poot is being to you even though you’ve acted like a jerk re: Ukraine. Let the Israelis scream their kipas off–Assad, much better for the world to deal with than the ISIS crowd. Much better for everyone–including Israel. Let John McCain posture and pose and do his war dance all he wants. Please Barry, all we are saying if give Pooty a chance.

It seems that Putin is the only adult in the room at the moment. He is even talking to us when we instigated a coup to overthrow the Ukrainian duly elected President. Why does the American public not know this? Sorry I remember now…the big war corporations profit greatly on the taxpayer’s war dollar. Why should they tell us the truth on their corporate owned media…bad for business!!!!
